[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1500595, member: 555320"] Oh yeah...sorry..LOL One of your pieces of equipment might be reading incorrectly or you have one of the settings set incorrectly. Or you are still taking measurement incorrect measurements like thch pointed out. Your voltage is still really high for that amplifier. Even assuming the amplifier is underrated and can cleanly produce 1500w @ 1ohm, that'd still only be ~38V. Because, yeah, the Orion is underrated, but not as heavily as you are measuring. Maybe the o-scope you used to set the gains with is inaccurate? I'd try finding a different DMM and/or clamp meter and measuring again. [/QUOTE]
